Angela Evelyn Bassett Vance (August 16, 1958) is an actress, director, producer, and activist. She is known for her biographical film roles, most notably her performance as Tina Turner in the biopic What’s Love Got to Do with It, for which she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Comedy or Musical. She has portrayed real-life figures, Betty Shabazz, in both Malcolm X and Panther, Katherine Jackson in The Jacksons: An American Dream, Voletta Wallace in Notorious, and Coretta Scott King in Betty & Coretta. Her other notable film roles include Reva Styles in Boyz n the Hood, Bernie Harris in Waiting to Exhale, Rachel Constantine in Contact, Lynne Jacobs in Olympus Has Fallen, and London Has Fallen, and Queen Ramonda in Black Panther and Avengers: Endgame.

She was born in New York City, the daughter of a social worker Betty Jane (née Gilbert), a civil servant, and Daniel Benjamin Bassett, a preacher’s son.

She began her film career in the 1980s, after earning a BA and MA from Yale University. She earned nominations for her roles in films such as The Score, Akeelah, and the Bee, Meet the Browns, and Jumping the Broom and won awards for her performances in How Stella Got Her Groove Back and Music of the Heart, among others. Her performance as Rosa Parks in the film The Rosa Parks Story was honored with her first Primetime Emmy Award nomination.

She married actor Courtney B. Vance in 1997. They first met at Yale School of Drama, then became a couple over a decade later after their paths crossed again in Los Angeles. In the summer of 2005, they starred together in a production of His Girl Friday at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis. They are the parents of twins. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #deltasigmatheta

A list of all films featured in 2020′s 31 Days of Oscar

This is the exhaustive list of all 327 short- and feature-length films featured during this year’s 31 Days of Oscar marathon (down from 388 in 2019, up from 296 in 2018). Every single film that was featured since January 29 was nominated for an Academy Award or won an Honorary Oscar. We started the marathon a few days early this year because of the earlier-than-usual timing of this year’s ceremony (which placed it at Day 12 of this year’s marathon). Thank goodness we’ll go back to usual in 2021 and 2022, where the former’s ceremony will be placed on Day 28 if I, by tradition, start the marathon on February 1, 2021.

Best Picture winners and the one (and only) winner for Unique and Artistic Production are in bold - okay the latter was not featured for this year’s marathon (but perhaps next time!). Asterisked (*) films are films I haven’t seen in their entirety as of the publishing of this post.

Oscar award: Is it the gold standard or a statuette of limitations? - art and culture

It’s not just that the Oscars are long. It’s that they’re dull. No one takes fashion risks anymore — women put on well-behaved gowns and save the shenanigans for the Met Gala. Young actresses gush over Meryl Streep, even if she’s playing a terrible singer, terribly, in a terrible film. Everyone’s practised their speech/gracious-loser expression. The host’s one-liners will land somewhere between celebratory and critical.And in India, by the time you wake up on Monday, the whole thing’s over. The red-carpet styles are already funnelled into hit-and-miss who-wore-it-better listicles. The gold statuettes handed out. The tears, zingers and highlights clipped into digestible bits on YouTube. You’ve missed nothing.via GIPHYEven Americans don’t watch the Oscars any more. Viewership was highest in the year 2000. Some 46.3 million watched American Beauty win Best Picture, and a young Angelina Jolie pick up Best Supporting Actress for Girl, Interrupted. Last year, only 29.6 million Americans tuned in. The Oscar ceremony, it seems, is going the way of the variety shows of the 1970s and the Top-10 music countdowns of the 1990s. Its glory days seem to be in the past.Ratings aren’t where the prestige lies. Since the awards were instituted in 1929, the draw has been the prizes. That’s where the plot gets complicatedIt doesn’t help that the ceremony, carpet to credits, is more than three hours long — and so repetitive that it feels much longer. You could watch this year’s Oscar-nominated The Irishman in that time; or the 1977 winner, Annie Hall, twice.To be fair, the body that hands out the awards, has been trying to liven up the telecast. The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences have dropped the host. Awards for minor categories have been handed out in the aisles. The Lifetime Achievement segment is staged separately. For the 2019 edition, they even tried to add a category called Achievement in Popular Cinema. It was dropped amid confusion and criticism.But it’s not just about how many people are catching the Oscars live. Ratings aren’t where the prestige lies. Since the awards were instituted in 1929, the draw has been the prizes. And that’s where the plot starts to get a little complicated. via GIPHYJUDGE AND JURYThink of the Oscars as a sort of annual State of the Union address for Hollywood. Nominated and winning entries represent not just the best of the best, but the American film industry itself. The 9,000 lifetime members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences vote within their categories. Actors nominate actors, editors nominate editors, and so on. Peer approval matters. So even if Meryl Streep is playing a terrible singer, terribly, in a terrible film, someone’s noticing that the costume design is exceptional.Actors nominate actors, editors nominate editors. Even if Meryl Streep is playing a terrible singer, terribly, in a terrible film, someone’s noticing that the costume design is exceptional.And yet, despite stellar work from dozens of women directors this year, not one has been nominated. Of the nominated actors, only one is black. Four very white, very male films (Joker, 1917, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood and The Irishman) have ten or more nominations each. It’s not so much a reflection as a distortion.Here’s why: Of those 9,000 Academy members, only 32% are women and only 16% are people of colour. The Academy is largely white and male. Many members haven’t worked in years, are out of sync with Hollywood’s own global market, and their bias is now driving young movie watchers to other metrics of excellence, like the Baftas, the relatively low-key British equivalent; and crowdsourced resources like IMDb. via GIPHYThe Emmy and Grammy awards have accommodated reality television and electronica. MTV’s acting awards are gender-neutral. The Academy is still struggling to squeeze in a stunt category. It’s changed Best Foreign Language Film to Best International Feature Film this year, adding more confusion than clarity. It just won’t let the rest of the world in; even British filmmakers and actors rarely win. And it’s still too long.To update the Oscar ceremony, they’d need to first reboot the Academy. Especially now, when new platforms, new markets and a political upheaval around gender and colour are fragmenting the audience.For an overwhelming majority of film lovers, an Oscar nod is still the first spark of interest in an otherwise unknown film, genre or actor. It needs to share those nods more equitably, so that more of us have a reason to stay up and watch the awards again. via GIPHYSnubs and snubbedSince the Oscars were instituted in 1929, only six black men have been nominated for Best Director. John Singleton in 1992 for Boyz n the Hood, Lee Daniels in 2010 for Precious, Steve McQueen in 2014 for 12 Years a Slave, Barry Jenkins in 2017 for Moonlight, Jordan Peele in 2018 for Get Out and Spike Lee in 2019 for BlacKkKlansman. No black director has won. No black woman has even been nominated for directing.Marlon Brando, knowing he would win the acting Oscar for The Godfather in 1973, sent Apache actress, Sacheen Littlefeather, instead to accept it for him, and deliver a speech about Hollywood’s treatment of Native Americans. via GIPHYEddie Murphy, when presenting an award in 1988, said he hadn’t wanted to attend, because the Academy had not recognised the contributions of blacks. He then counted Oscar-winning black actors on one hand. “I’ll probably never win an Oscar for saying this, but... I gotta say it,” he said.Only five women have ever been nominated for best director: Lina Wertmüller in 1977 for Seven Beauties, Jane Campion in 1994 for The Piano, Sofia Coppola in 2004 for Lost in Translation, Kathryn Bigelow in 2010 for The Hurt Locker and Greta Gerwig in 2018 for Lady Bird. Kathryn Bigelow is the only woman to have won. Read the full article

ADD TO PLAYLIST SUMMER 2020: Megan Thee Stallion, Buju, August Alsina, Roots Virtual Picnic, Toni Braxton, DaBaby & MORE!

2020 has been hell, but we JUST officially made it to the summer. And there’s new music to add to your playlist to continue getting us through the most foolish year to date. New bops from Megan Thee Stallion, Buju, August Alsina, Toni Braxton and more inside…

Hot Girl Summer 2020 is HERE! And you can thank Head Hottie Megan The Stallion.

                  GIRLS IN THE HOOD OUT NOW EVERYWHERE

A post shared by Hot Girl Meg (@theestallion) on Jun 25, 2020 at 9:08pm PDT

  It’s the official first weekend of the summer and the Houston Hottie made sure to give her hotties something to turn up to – even if we are in quarantine. Well, some of us.

After landing at the No. 1 spot on Billboard for her "Savage Remix" with Beyoncé, the Stallion returns to the music scene to kick off summer 2020! The 25-year-old rapper released her new track "Girls in the Hood" at midnight and the hotties are already cutting up. The beat samples Eazy-E’s classic track “Boyz-n-the-Hood" and it's the perfect vibe to turn up with your girls while doing hood rat things.

"Girls In The Hood" is a street-smart ode to the area Megan grew up in and the pride in being a product of her surroundings. A celebration of the lifestyle and energy of her community, "Girls In The Hood" features all the hallmarks of Megan at her finest; playful lyricism, hard hitting delivery, and a self-confident vibe. Using the track to celebrate her culture and her blackness, Megan has created an anthem reminding girls worldwide that just because you’re from the bottom, it doesn’t mean you can’t come out on top and keep it real the whole way.

Take a listen below:

The Savage x Fenty ambassador (who shouted Rihanna out on the new track) has been nominated for five BET Awards, which include Best Female Hip-Hop Artist, Album of the Year, and Video of the Year. She's also set to perform during the awards show which is set to air live on BET and CBS at 8pm EST.

Earlier this year, Buju was featured on the Bad Boys For Life soundtrack, which was produced by DJ Khaled.

                  THE PRODUCT III: STATEOFEMERGENCY OUT NOW ‼️ LINK IN THE BIO

A post shared by Yungin' (@augustalsina) on Jun 25, 2020 at 9:03pm PDT

  August Alsina is back! The R&B singer just returned to the music scene with some new music from his new album, The Product III: stateofEMERGEncy.

Fans were gifted 27 tracks from the singer with features from Lil Wayne, Yo Gotti, Juicy J and Tink. It's been almost four years since he last dropped an album, so his fans deserve all of the tracks he provided. On the album, he shares the difficulties of his lifetime and tribulations he has dealt with up until now. In anticipation of his album, Alsina spent the week prior to his release dropping a new single daily, giving his fans a taste of what’s to come with “NOLA,” “Rounds,” “Work To Do,” “Sincerely” and “Deliver Us.”

August represents so many touch points within Black America right now: healthcare given his struggle with rare auto-immune disease, socio-economic issues, police brutality, and Black on Black crime -- which is seen throughout the 5-part documentary series and heard within his new album.

You can take a listen below or stream it wherever you get your music:

                  Have y’all caught up on the first 3 episodes of #stateofEMERGEncy? Episode 4 and new music tonight at 12am EST/9pm PST. #TheProduct3

A post shared by Yungin' (@augustalsina) on Jun 23, 2020 at 4:48pm PDT

The New Orleans native dropped a five-episode docuseries on YouTube titled “stateofEMERGEncy: The Rise of August Alsina” — which debuted earlier this week.

“I’ve been working. Been working on myself, my family and my health,” Alsina said. “While on my journey I’ve discovered that life is like one huge puzzle w/ limitless pieces. I’ve been putting the pieces of my puzzle together — with my new music and documentary, stateofEMERGEncy."

You can check out all of the episodes here.

As for more new music....

Toni Braxton teamed up with Missy Elliott for a remix of “Do It.”

On the track, Toni pulls inspiration from her own experiences and shares advice for anyone struggling with the decision to end an unhealthy relationship. Well, she's not singing about her own relationship. Back in April, Toni said she and her fiance Birdman are getting married THIS year regardless of the Coronavirus pandemic. They have been engaged since 2018.

Toni & Missy bring a fast-paced tempo to the remix while reiterating the Grammy winner's encouragement to leave a toxic relationship by rapping “let him know I gotta do it, ‘cause he already done and blew it.”

On collaborating with the living legend, Missy stated, “Toni’s team reached out to my manager and asked if I could produce a remix for her next single. They said, ‘Hey if Missy wants to rap on it we would love that too.’ So they sent me the record and my boy Hannon and I, sped the track up to a mid-tempo and re-arranged the music. To be honest, I was scared to send it because anyone who knows me, knows that I’m a huge fan of Toni Braxton! I’ve worked with so many legends. I’ve even worked with Tamar. But I had never worked directly with Toni before. So I thought, what if she hears it and says ‘oh HELL NAH Missy done messed my record up.’ But thank God when she heard it, she loved it and hear we are! Now I can say I finally worked with the living legend—Ms. Toni Braxton.”

“Do It” with Missy Elliott is the latest single from the "Braxton Family Values" star following her multi-Grammy nominated album, Sex & Cigarettes. Take a listen to her newest musical offering above.

New visuals....

Rapper DaBaby just released the video treatment to his hit single “ROCKSTAR” featuring Roddy Ricch. The Reel Goats-directed visual comes as the single continues its chart-topping reign: earning DaBaby his first #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and snagging #1 on Rolling Stone’s Top 100, while approaching #1 at Rhythmic Radio. The song also peaked at #1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop, Hot Rap Songs, Streaming Songs charts and in several international markets.

DaBaby is getting it. He also recently released a Black Lives Matter Remix, adding his voice to the conversation surrounding the current hot-button social justice issues. Watch the “ROCKSTAR” video above.
